Jean Giraud was a French artist, cartoonist and writer who worked in the Franco-Belgian bandes dessin�es tradition. Giraud garnered worldwide acclaim predominantly under the pseudonym Moebius and, to a lesser extent Gir, which he used for the Blueberry series and his paintings. Moebius also contributed storyboards and concept designs to numerous science fiction and fantasy films, such as Alien, Tron, The Fifth Element, and The Abyss.

Moebius has a slightly weird, but tasteful, sense of proportion. In the prints, his drawing of arms is strangely prominent. Especially forearms.

"There were thousands of professionals who knew my work. That has always amazed me every time I entered some graphics, or animation studio, at Marvel or even at George Lucas'. Mentioning the name Jean Giraud did not cause any of the present pencillers, colorists or storyboard artists to even bat an eye. Yet, whenever I introduced myself as "Moebius", all of them jumped up to shake my hand. It was incredible!" � Giraud

Silver Surfer: Parable, written by Stan Lee and drawn by Giraud (as Moebius), was published through Marvel's Epic imprint. According to Giraud, this was his first time working under the Marvel method, and he admitted to being baffled by the fact that he already had a complete story synopsis on his desk only two days after he had met Stan Lee for the first time, having discussed what Giraud had assumed was a mere proposition over lunch. This miniseries won the Eisner Award for best finite/limited series in 1989. M�bius' version was discussed in the 1995 submarine thriller Crimson Tide by two sailors pitting his version against those of Jack Kirby, with the main character played by Denzel Washington, emphasizing the Kirby one being the better of the two. Becoming aware of the reference around 1997, Giraud was later told around 2005 by the movie's director Tony Scott, that it was he who had written in the dialog as an homage to the artist on behalf of his brother Ridley, a M�bius admirer, and not script doctor Quentin Tarentino as he was previously led to believe. An amused Giraud quipped, "It's better than a big stature, because in a way, I can not dream of anything better to be immortal [than] being in a movie about submarines!"If you have any questions please be sure to ask BEFORE purchasing!
